Born in the 1970s in Hunan province, Sheng Keyi now lives in Shenyang, Guangdong province, and is usually considered one of the group of "female writers from Guangdong" that includes Wei Hui. Sheng is one of the newer generations of writers who deal primarily with modern China (as opposed to rural themes), but displays none of the immaturity or naivete that often plagues China's younger writers. She tends to begin with female characters and themes, but is a ferocious experimenter with style and voice, and her works cover a wide range of emotional and social territory.
Progress of the country side and the periphery during the capitalist invasion, one child policy, and the women body, those are some familiar subjects for the author. nothing new, but isn’t bad. The writing and rhetoricL skills are still top-notch.
